A/N: Yet another update. Carmen: You're on the right track and yes it was scary seeing Max like that and I wrote it. sweatdrop grEMLin eVil: Um, Hopefully, this update was sooner and the Rei/Kai will come, but…
Warning: I know that you wanted more Kai and you will get him, but not in this chapter. You're probably going to want to throw things at me, but you should know this is a key chapter in the plot, so bare with me. You will get your Rei/Kai.
Chapter Thirteen
Enrique yawned the next morning, rubbing his eyes with his free hand as their door was left opened at its usual time of nine 'o'clock. His other hand was securely wrapped around his boyfriend who either hadn't woken up yet or didn't want to, his cute little face snuggled into Enrique's chest and his hand rested gently over the linen that covered them both.
The pale blond couldn't help but smile. Oliver was definitely a weakness to man and a very pretty one at that. He knew how to hold himself and conduct himself around certain people, but no one knew how passionate and how deep Oliver really was. Perhaps they saw the playfulness he often exerted and thought of their relationship as nothing more than a sexual companionship. But no matter what, Enrique would always love and appreciate him.
He looked to his left to see that Johnny had already disappeared. Maybe the sight of seeing them together was too much for his heterosexual eyes. Nevertheless, the redhead had seemed much angrier these days, but Enrique thought it as just normal Johnny fashion.
He looked to his lover and gently shook him awake.
"Morning gorgeous!" He grinned, brushing the ruffled emerald tresses out of Oliver's face as he stirred.
"Morning," Oliver muttered, his voice stifled though raised an octave in all its cuteness.
He smiled at his lover before planting a light kiss on his lips and leaning into him some more.
"Another day in this bitch we call home," Oliver murmured. "Do we have to get up? I'm so comfortable"
He ran a well-manicured hand under the covers and over his lover's chest, feeling him jerk at the cold touch.
"You know what the officers are like," Enrique replied. "They'll force us out sooner of later."
Oliver sighed.
"I still can't believe what happened yesterday," Enrique continued.
"I know," Oliver said. "I never would have thought Max and Tyson could fall out"
"I can't help thinking that it was our fault though," Enrique pondered allowed. "I mean, we were the one's who offered Max the advice"
"Oh Enrique! Don't be so hard on yourself," His boyfriend replied. "I guess it just wasn't meant to be. They're opposites and besides, Max deserves someone who'd treat him like a queen. Tyson was far from the model boyfriend."
"Maybe you're right"
There was a banging on the door once again before an officer poked his head in.
"Come on! Get up! The day waits for no one!"
"Then why can't you wait for us," Oliver stated sweetly.
"Yeah, come back later, when we're not busy," Enrique began running his hands over his lover's back, before planting another tender kiss on his lips, knowing full well that it would put the officer off.
"No time for playing games now!" The officer continued with an expression of subtle disgust. "Hurry up!"
He pulled away from the door, having seen enough, Oliver and Enrique chuckling heartedly.
"You would've thought they'd get used to it with at least half the Wing being gay," Enrique said.
"They'll never learn,"
-----------------------------
Oliver yawned as he stepped out of his dorms that morning in his brightly coloured overalls, as his boyfriend followed, a smug look on his face. The effeminate one wondered if the blond knew that that particular expression turned him on, but rather then ask, he slid his hand around the blonds waist instead as they begun their trip down the stairs towards the cafeteria.
As they progressed however, he began to notice that they were receiving strange looks from other inmates and it bothered him because almost everyone knew them.
"Hey," Enrique nodded his head to a small group who were sat outside their rooms, but instead of the usual greeting back, they was presented with nothing more then a cold harsh stare.
"What's their problem?" Enrique muttered.
"I don't know!" Came Oliver's concerned reply.
Every morning was the same thing. They would get up and greet the Wing, regardless if people knew them well or not, but today seemed different. People seemed cagey as if they were new to the Wing again and nobody knew what to think of them. Nevertheless, the worst was yet to come.
It was when they stepped into the actual cafeteria that silence reined and everyone stared at them. At a time like this, the only person who could have produced such an audience would have been Kai. After all, he was a legend. Everyone looked up to him. Everyone wanted to know his secrets, but as of now, it was a different kind of audience. Everyone was indeed looking, but their expression mirrored that of the group who were stationed outside their dorms – looks so acrimonious that they could have burned through steel itself. And for the first time in seven years, they both stood, Oliver more then anything, in fear, their feet rooted into the ground.
"Man whore!" Someone shouted.
Even the officers stood perplexed.
"Slut!"
Enrique looked to his boyfriend, whose face had turned an acid white.
Someone stood up. His hair was dark brown, eyes of vengeance.
"We'll teach you to fuck us around!" The person in question then hurtled a handful of spaghetti right at them. Oliver closed his eyes tight awaiting the impact, but realised it hadn't hit him, but Enrique instead, staining his light blond hair.
"That's enough, Jacobs!" Two of the officers had appeared by the inmate's side and were now manhandling him out of the cafeteria.
"You know they can't be trusted! Don't let them do to you, what they did to…"
But before anyone could hear what the brunette was about to say, he was struck just then and pulled from view.
"He's right!" Someone else shouted.
Another piece of food was hurtled in their direction.
"Lets get 'em!"
With that comment made, breakfast became a delicious weapon, as it was dashed at them, some missing narrowly, others direct on target. It was then that the officers took initiative and began their duties of stopping the chaos. Meanwhile, Enrique covered his lover as they turned in the opposite direction and ran back to their dorm, receiving spiteful comments on the way back.
-----------------------------
"What is going on?" Oliver stood in front of the mirror once again, this time trying the comb egg yolk out of his hair.
It didn't appear to be budging however.
"Oh it's no use!" He threw the comb down in frustration. "And there's no way we can go downstairs and take a shower without them…doing something,"
"I just don't understand it," The now coffee-coloured blond replied. "Everyone was fine yesterday. What could we have done to make them change like that?"
Someone suddenly burst into the room just then, but the fear on their face soon relaxed but only just.
"You guys are so screwed," Johnny said, slamming the door shut behind him.
"What's going on?" Oliver stood before Johnny, grabbing his shirt, the worry in his eyes.
Maybe it would have worked for a more compassionate someone, but Johnny merely pried his hands off, before straightening his shirt.
"I've been waiting for the day when you guys would fuck up big time!"
"Just answer the question!" Enrique snapped, not taking kindly to the way Johnny had treated his lover just then.
"Everyone's talking about it," The redhead began. "About how you guys screwed up Tyson and Max's relationship, messed around that Ian kid and how you can't be trusted because you'll do just about anything for money"
Oliver gasped, plonking himself under Johnny's bunk. He stared ahead of himself, completely empty.
"Wow! Never thought I'd see the day when Miss Oliver would crack under the pressure," Johnny smirked.
Enrique growled.
"This isn't funny, you know?"
"Who said it was?"
"You know what Johnny, just go away!"
Johnny yawned.
"Well, suit yourself, but just so you know – I'm all you got,"
TBC…
Life is so sucking for everyone right now. Well, almost everyone…
